Roller Derby arrives in Alamogordo on Saturday

If you want to see jammers and blockers battle on the track but don't want to leave town to do it, you're in luck.

Roller Derby is coming to Alamogordo on Saturday.

Dixie Yeager, a member of Alamogordo's own Derbal Remedy roller derby team, said her team will join up with several others for a "mash-up bout" on Saturday at 6 p.m. inside the Tays Special Events Center.

Yeager said Derbal Remedy has so far been a travel team and this will be its first home bout.

She said five teams from New Mexico and Texas are scheduled to play each other.

The event costs $7 dollars at the door and $5 in advance. Military members and New Mexico State University students can get in for $5, she said.

Yeager said advance tickets can be bought from any skater.

She said on Tuesday that about 200 presale tickets have already been sold.
